Plaza Arturo Prat

Pichilemu - Chile

The statue of Arturo Prat from the upper part of the square

This rather large plaza (or square in English) is a little different from most in that it is not a flat ground. It is in fact on the side of a slope so it is in two main levels. The top part that allows you to look towards the beach just a block or so away (check out the distance by the photo below), whereas the bottom part is more decorative with the statue of Arturo Prat whose name is given to the square.

About Us
Our goal at southamerica.cl is to provide free information about
the countries of South America in order to enrich the experience
of people coming either on a short trip, a long journey, or as an
expat planning to live here for a while.

Being in a totally foreign country where they speak a different
language can be daunting, especially if you don't know a single
thing about the place or its people. That's where we hope to be
able to help you by giving tips, advice and suggestions that you
won't be able to find in the your typical guide book.

Any recommendations that you can give us about anything
to do with South America would be greatly appreciated.
The more you help us, the more we can help others.

We hope you find this site useful. Enjoy!!!
